John ljuipry A (A mit, Witt the Historical Society of Uosion, oh lheutji-rt of China Affairs, has created much en. salion. Wo subjoin lit most ectensive report lliul has inrt tur eye enough la show the iWV of thu discourse : The Ucluie of Mr, A Jam before TheiliytoriT-al Hociett, the other evening, was calculated to excite Ihe surpri-e of moit of the auJience, became it a doptcd a position regarding tho dispute between Great Uritain and China, wholly at varinnce with a I the opinions that are commonly entertained lining us of in real merit. As some ciwsi y hn been expressed to know tha mode by which Mr. Adam maintained the justice of the Uritishcau-e, ! Btitiali hue a rearUtely refund. The ,uarrrl is we have ajrtdcrtaken to give, brie, the heads of the then found, d itp.m an absrtact principle of the law argument as we understood it. I f nttta,f ,, n ati.ms, and not at all upon tho riiiht Mr. Adams commenced bi lecture by mg-esting j to be compensated for a (inhibited article of trade. Cum piestion for consideration, as growing out of ; It is (lit demand of one n itian to be put on a foot the controversy- ing of perfect equality with another, in the relation 1. Which party has the righteous camel 1 they establish with each other. H The prospect of its progress and condit ion. With tl.e death of Lord Napier, cau-ed by che 3. Il.m the interest of oiher nations ate or may grin m mortification at the indignity and insults U affected by it, parl'tculaily tlie United States. I which had been heaped up n him, the lecturer con st. Ttie duties of the American government and i clud.d. And with it he announced that he had j.e.ip'e resulting from it. j not arrived even at the settlement of the first que. (Jut although he mado bis extensive distribution iin proposed by him at the oute the justice of uf Ibis tuljivt, the limits of his lecture allowed him j the cue between the two paiti-s. At some fu- fiily to dispose a portion of the fi'st point. To the toll understanding of this, he went into the i xami fiatian of the law of nation, and the four sources from which it springs, described by Vattel as the nccossary, the voluntary, the conventional and the ciittoioary. The necesMry law ia the application of nature to the intercourse between nations whol ly independent of each other, and c m be enforced only between those which acknowledge that the state of nature is the state of ien'e. The voluntary law of nations i the application of some law volun tarily assumed, as, for example, that of Christianity among tha European nations, tttid their descendants all over iho world, which law has been recognize.! by the United States as obligatory in the Constitu tion. The question as bolwoeu Cliina and fJrrat Urituin must bo tried by tli first of ihAe laws. Tbe rights uf other Christian nations, a fur astfcoy may be involved in the issue, rau:t lie tried by the second. Dy tlc law of nature, property springs fra n two agrees, occupancy and labor. II ut occupancy, uliich gives eiclusive right to the soil, must be peim inent. To he perm ineut it must be Ju finite by metes and bounds, which can only be compact. These points being established, the right of ex change, barter, or commerce, nece-sjrily follows from property. And the stale of nature being a state of peace, and the pursuit of happiness a n itu rul right of roan, it is the duly of men to contribute as much as they can to the happiness of onounoih er. IS'o way of doing this is so certain as that of t!ie mutual exchange of equivalent. Commerce, is 'hcicf ire among the natural light and dutic uf men. These proposition being distinctly laid down, the lecturer went into an eiaminutiou of the retric lions which Vattel hjd imposed upon the duty of commercial intercourse upon nations, and after separating from the question the right of any one tuition lo enforce the performance of it upon anoth er, he cuiteavered to show that the second end ihird Ri m r.il law laid donn in tint emtioi's prelimina ry chapter were at variance, and wholly incoiwist ei.t nith the first. He maintained thai it was im possible lo admit with Vattel, tliut each nation ought to contribute all in its piwer to the happi ness and perfection of others, and uf erwarJs allirm with him lhal each n.ilion is bound to do whatever it eati to promoto its oum hapjiiness, it making it self the exclusive judge of what that is, without it Terence to that of any other. This argument w.is the foundation uf Mr. AJama's whole edifice, lie built upon it the duly of reciprocity between nations; ofcomoierci.il intercourse with eachortier, not from exclusive or jiaramouut consideration of their respective interests, but from equal regard to the intcre-ts if bath. At the .me time, he quali fied this geaeral rule so far as to admit every n i. tiou to lo the judge of what species of tralUc is in jurious and to have the right to iiiteidict it when no longer fulfilling that condition upon which commercial intercource is enj uued. This was dwelt upon at considerable length, and with great force and ingenuity, but we tin J ourselves utterly unable to follow it farther at prcient than this brief synopsis. The basis having ben thus maJe, notion; re. mined but to apply the principles evolved, lo the hUtory of the eoutroversy. Mr. Adams reviewed toe relations with China, fifbt of the Portuguese, a.id the m inner in whiih tkey became pos-ie-sed of Mscao, aud then of the UnU.h, through the Eisl Iudia lompany, aud iho tni-sion wluch btd been instituted in the person of Lord Macartney, in 1793. He endeavored to show by it, that the policy of the Chinew Einp re had always len based upon anti-commercial principles, and 'he manner in which it had bce i carried on was in the highest sense an outrage upon tha right of human nature, and upon those ut oiht r nations. He did not spare some sarcasm upon tha modes by which tha sovereign of Euope, and especially Ciroat . Diitain,hdeudtsvocd bwelufuie to conciliate the maintenance of lua trade with China with ihe.r self-etteem. He considered the formation of the Eaat India Company a having becu a coiiipntniii with conscience, in the subatitu ion f an .gem 10 accept terms, and occupy ihe position of a liikuiary, which tb principal, m nis own pers ;n, wouiu no consent to. Lord Macartney Lad been railed u- Kn to perform the Ko-Tow, a ceremony of protia- lion of lha person, snd knocking lb head nine lime against the floor, signif)in lubutary vasttl- ag to the Emperor. He had refused, and ha J been dismissed. It wa. the Ko-Tow, then, lhal wsa the real cau of tha war. The common o. pinion that lb opium, seized at Canton, wa ihe cause, is wholly groundless. That w a mere in- cident to tb tjuanal. It I1&.I uo Ling to io itiih its origin, which ii to be found in period long before thitcriiur.'happencj. ' The lecturer then went into a history of the diffi culty twlwcen Lord Nnpier and lha Chinese, con st jurnt np'i i hi following hie Instruction to com Hiu. icite only with the Vi?erny of Canton, and not with the Hung merchants. These merchant ha I always been the persons through whom all communication had been made whi'st the Eosit IikI' Coiupiny' charter had existed ; but upon the e a.a!i'ii!iinent uf the trade on a morn liberal fooling, the British government, which then as sumed the contM ins'rad of the Company, deter mine d no longer to submit to trrat with any but the recognized authority in the Empire. This brought m itlers to a crisis. The Chinos insisted upon an Hrknuwlea1 jemr-nt of superiorly, which the ture timu he promised, if he aliould live, to resume it. HeCuishidby brisf ollm on to the hist of his four quentiuns the dutiea of tho American government and people in the promi-es. Dy con trailing the repulse of Lord Kapler's agent from the fates of Canton, in July, 434, wiih the ran- soin of that city for six millions of dollars, in June, j I Si I, he skew the moral tlnA eve y r.aiion should ptepare fot war and prtstixt praco. We are n..t sure that wo have given the full train of reflections, or of the argument ; but by this nniirBri arp ruiiu.ieiii i lai iiur iruuris iiijt , ,-i..i.. . i - - - - i gather some accurate notion of the substance of the lecture which occupied one hour ond twenty min utes iu the delivery, to as rr.iwded an oudit ny, not wi hstaudii g the torrents of ruin, as was probably ever assembled within the walls of the Temple on any similar occasion. We confess tint we do no: s -e that Mr. Adams his sustained the justiou uf the liriiish cause. Nei ther the law of naiions, wliich Mr. A Jims says is a law of ieuce, nor chiistianily, which Mr. Adam, say. ha., iu part, becoma the law of nations, can warrant a muiderous attack upon a people for ri fu sing commeiciil intercourse wiih a na'.iou which they do not like, whose comincare they have never courted, and whose hospitality they have never in. joyed. Tbe idea that China mu-t be coerce I, by blood shed arid the destruction uf her commercial cities, into intercourse with Great Uritain, because a state of nature is a stale of peace, appears to u to be a gross mm irquitur, or else Mr. Adams catches his idea uf peace from the motto of his native Mute, and below that it must always bo sought by the sword. Chini is one of the few nation that have adopted tho "lot us alone policy." !She sliielJs herself, n rather she seems to have thought that she had shield ed herself, from the abstraction of lhj?e romnieicial law. upon which other nation, go lo wur, by avoid ing all active commerce, and confining herclf to a paskive commerce ; which being upon her own soil, she could regulate by her own laws. Hut England cent, determined to posei herself of that com merce, and the mean, of it likewise, and .be finds an advocate in a nation w hich i likely lo .uffrr mot by Ihe mode of peaceful commerce. If Great Uritain succeed, in making a treaty with China, after bait, ring down h-r f .rtifica.io.i. and seaboard cities, it is rctty ceilain that kite will put ' into the conditions certain clauses that will give her j thins and her mcichandiie a iref. rence. China : now takes the coarse fabrics of this country and gentian. How long will fcbe consent lo take from ua any thing which she cart receive from a nation that is so expert in illustrating the truth, that a slate of nature i. a state of peace, and who is eo .killed in giving expositions of of thu cannon Ijws : within bia own jurisdiction, threatening the law lees of Christianity. j with ihe teirors of the law, and entreating the tieace If England should make a treaty with China, ! able to "frown down the secret societies and the o I'thrr commercial nations must see that they are j vert pillage of arsenals.
